Some places would be good like parts of Siberia. It's good they would be there also since the great mammoth hunters there did help wipe them out.
I'm all for bringing back things humans killed off, but not if they have no habitat, or reason anymore.
The Mega fauna is so cool, but leave the Sabertooth in the ground. :)

I am sure that improvements in cloning have been made. I just wish that we would stop making current species extinct.

Arctic Expedition Finds Woolly Mammoth Remains Ripe for Cloning

Russian scientists undertaking an exploratory expedition on the Lyakhovsky Islands have discovered woolly mammoth remains including skin and tusk, which they believe suitable for obtaining the DNA necessary to clone the animal.

Genome Study Brings Woolly Mammoth DNA Back From the Dead
An international expedition to the Lyakhovsky Islands led by scientists from Russia's North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk has discovered six specimens of woolly mammoth fossils suitable for extracting DNA.

"The Lyakhovsky Islands are considered the mammoth continent," explained Semyon Grigorev, leader of the expedition to the islands and director of the Mammoth Museum at Russia's North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk.

"The largest concentration of remains in the world is here, so that's why we chose this area to carry out our studies," Grigorev told a press conference on Wednesday.

"To start with, together with archeologists we carried out a dig at the most northern site where ancient man lived, not far from the village of Kazachye where we found an enormous amount of mammoth bones, and also ancient tools," said Grigorev of the expedition, which took place over two stages from August 11 to September 29.

"Then, after waiting a long time for the right weather conditions, we continued to the main target of our expedition, Great Lyakhovsky Island, where we found a great amount of unique remains," which includes ancient mammoth skin and teeth.

"Take, for example, the tusk of a pygmy mammoth that we found. We calculate that the animal was no more than two meters tall, so now we have to work out what this was – a micropopulation, or the peculiarity of this single individual."

"Skin is the most interesting for us, for our project 'The Mammoth Rebirth,' because our Korean colleagues consider skin to be the best material for an attempt at cloning via the extraction of viable cells."


Russia Takes the Wheel in Funding Self-Driving Car Research
The 'Northern Ecumene' expedition of 16 researchers from six different countries was made possible thanks to a grant of two million rubles provided by the Russian Geographical Society.

"We consider the expedition a success; after all, out of what seems to be these kinds of small expeditions, great scientific discoveries can be made," said Grigorev, whose team is now joining forces with Korean researchers to analyze the mammoth remains for cells viable for cloning.

Woolly mammoth with flowing blood found for first time, Russian scientists claim
http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=25371 :link:

A preserved fully-grown woolly mammoth with flowing blood has been found for the first time, trapped in the Siberian ice, scientists have said.

Russian scientists made the discoveries during the excavation of a 50-60-year-old female animal on the Lyakhovsky Islands, in the Arctic seas of the country�s north-east.

Woolly mammoths, which look similar to elephants, are thought to have died out between 10,000 and 4,000 years ago.

Previous discoveries of well-preserved woolly mammoth remains have resulted in some scientists raising the possibility of Jurassic Park-style cloning of the animals.

�We were really surprised to find mammoth blood and muscle tissue,� scientist Semyon Grigoriev told the Siberian Times.

The head of the Museum of Mammoths of the Institute of Applied Ecology of the North at the North Eastern Federal University said the finding was unique.

He said: �It is the first time we managed to obtain mammoth blood. No-one has ever seen before how the mammoth�s blood flows�.

�The approximate age of this animal is about 10,000 years old. It has been preserved thanks to the special conditions, due to the fact that it did not defrost and then freeze again.

�We suppose that the mammoth fell into water or got bogged down in a swamp, could not free herself and died.

�Due to this fact the lower part of the body, including the lower jaw, and tongue tissue, was preserved very well.

�The upper torso and two legs, which were in the soil, were gnawed by prehistoric and modern predators and almost did not survive.�

Despite this, he hailed it as �the best preserved mammoth in the history of palaeontology�.

When the blood flowed from ice cavities below the belly of the animal the temperature was 10C below zero and it was placed in a test tube and sent for analysis.

�Yet it is great luck that the blood preserved and we plan to study it carefully,� said Mr Grigoriev.

�For now our suspicion is that mammoth blood contains a kind of natural anti-freeze.�

"Mammoth Find" reported by RT:

"We are the first in the world to find the carcass of an adult female mammoth. Now she, along with the bones and some ice, weighs about one ton. We assume that during life she weighed about three tons," he acknowledged.
The head of the museum also suggested that the mammoth lived from 10,000 to 15,000 years ago.
Scientists have suggested that perhaps the animal fell through the ice, escaping from predators. However, its thought the predators still feasted on part of trapped mammoth.

Foreign experts are expected to see the unique mammoth material in July, according to reports.

Three adult mammoth carcasses, including the latest discovery of the Yakut scientists, have been found in the history of paleontology. However, despite such a good state of preservation, the scientists have not yet found enough living cells for cloning the species. Grigoriev noted that the repair of DNA is a very complex process that can take years.
The latest discovery and its research heralds the possibility of bringing the animal back to life in the future, though there is a lot of controversy around the issue of cloning.

A team of researchers from Russia and South Korea in September 2012 said they had discovered mammoth tissue fragments buried under meters of permafrost in eastern Siberia that could contain living cells. However the number of cells was too few to achieve successful cloning and the issue was treated with skepticism by many stem cell scientists.

Mammoths are believed to have died off around 4,000 years ago. There is dispute among scientists about the exact cause of the extinction - climate change and hunting by man are frequently cited as causes. Source

Scientists attempt to clone Ice Age cave lion cubs after discovering 'near-perfect' 12,000-year-old remains in Siberia


Two Ice age lion cubs were found in Russia's Sakha Republic last August in a near-perfect state thanks to the deep-freeze conditions where they lay. The ice age cave lion is closely related to modern African and Asian lions. The species roamed Eurasia and North America but died out about 10,000 years ago, for unknown reasons, as they were the apex predator of the times.
[video][/video]
Until the recent discovery, only portions of cave lions have been found, such as bones and teeth, according to the Siberian times. But the cubs are so well-preserved that they still have their fur, according to the news site.
Researchers hope to find living tissues containing DNA in the remains, which will allow them to recreate the now extinct Ice Age cave lion.
The project is a joint venture by Russian and South Korean scientists at the Joint Foundation of Molecular Paleontology at North East Russia University in the city of Yakutsk.
Semyon Grigoriev, who is involved in the lion cub project, is also working on cloning a mammoth using the same process.

I posted an article [quote][/quote]on these two frozen cave lion cubs. Though it would be cool tobsee them alive I would not want to go hiking with cave lions lurking about.

I have read about those, and many other animals in the past, it's sad so many was killed off because of man. I think we should bring ones we have killed off back unless they are a real danger to people.

They gave them teeth a few years ago, and i think a tail, getting closer to a raptor.
I was thinking how would they taste barbecued :think:

This is cool I hope they succeed in bringing this dog back. I wonder what pet dogs looked like then.
